“Yeah, I think Kevin had something going on that night,” Max said.
Kate caught Kevin’s eye as he was taking a sip of his beer. He shrugged and smiled helplessly at her. When he smiled at her like that, she couldn’t stay away from him any longer. She went to him and snuggled against him, wrapping both arms around his waist. “You know, there’s going to be a poker game at my place this Saturday if you want to come,” he said.
“Is there actually going to be a game this time?” she asked, looking up at him.
“Yes. We’re really going to play cards this time. And there will be beer and pizza. Why, are you interested?” he asked.
“Yeah, I’m interested. Interested in kicking your ass,” she grinned.
“We’ll see about that,” he said, pulling her close and planting a kiss on top of her head. “I love you.”
Kate smiled up at Kevin. Her friend. Her boyfriend. “I love you, too.”
